This study offers a vital reappraisal of the trade relationship between North-East Asia and the Gulf. Writing from a non-Western standpoint, Dargin and Lim make a compelling case for how these regions became economically integrated in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. The historical role of India in connecting these regions is examined in-depth, whilst the economic modernization of China and Japan is also stressed.
